I know this tab is totally correct because I got it from the official
Primus anthology tab book. I got sick of seeing all of the incorrect
bass tabs, and no one seemed to even try to get the guitar. E-mail me
if you want any different tabs by Primus. corneliusthepoptart@yahoo.com
Right now I only have A-N, but I'm going to get O-Z. A-N has Bob, DMV,
Eleven, Fish On, Groundhog's Day, John the Fisherman, My Name is Mud,
Nature Boy, Here Come the Bastards, Jerry Was a Race Car Driver, and
Mr. Krinkle. Although you probably won't be able to play any of it.
Most of the songs are played on a six-string fretless.
Lyrics:
My Name is Mud, not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Pete or Dennis,
My Name is Mud, it's always been, 'cause I'm the most boring sonsabitch
you've ever seen, I dress in blue, yes navy blue, from head to toe I'm
rather drab, except my patent shoes, I make 'em shine, well most the
time, 'cept today my feet were trodden on by this friend of mine, six
foot two and rude as hell, I gotta get in the ground before he starts
to smell, My Name is Mud
My Name is Mud, but call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie, that's
long for Mud, so I've been told, told that by this sonsabitch that lies
before me bloated, blue and cold, I've got my pride, I drink my wine, I
drink only the finest 'cept I haven't earned a dime in several months,
or were it years, the breath on that fat bastard could bring any man to
tears, we had our words, a common spat, so I kissed him upside the
